An NBC report summarizes the potential consequences on ICE and CBP of the Republicans' recent (extremely wild) move of killing the harsh border provisions they themselves demanded be included in the supplemental security funding bill. The most unfortunate consequence here is that this takes away $1.4 billion that was to be allocated to cities like Boston, LA, Denver, New York, and Chicago that have been receiving large numbers of newly arriving migrants.
At the same time, it would deny CBP "more than $15 billion to do things Republicans had demanded" (which, NBC fails to add, were mostly to make it even more difficult for vulnerable migrants to seek asylum in the US), and deny ICE $7.6 billion which would have, among other things, "dramatically increased detention space for migrants."
A quick glance at those numbers is extremely revealing of what this bill's priorities were in terms of assisting vulnerable migrants vs treating them like criminals. And this bill had whole-hearted support from Democrats.
how long until ice starts slaving out migrants to corps as cheap labor a la schindler's list?
It's already happening.
